Script is saying that I should use an indentation?
In my game, there is a script but it gives me a W008 error
if prt.Name:find("Leg") then prt.Transparency = 1 end
elseif prt:findFirstChild("NameTag") then prt.Head.Transparency = .5 prt.Head.Reflectance = 0 prt.Head.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Institutional white")
end end
prt:findFirstChild("NameTag") is the part where it gives the error. I'm hoping that someone could help me.

Remove the end on line 1 and only use one end on line 3. elseif can't be used outside an if statement TerrodactyI 173 — 5y

You should generally keep your code to doing one thing per line. If you don't, it's easy to miss (important!) details when you're re-reading later, after you've forgotten exactly how it works.
Your second line is doing 4 things!
Properly formatted, your code should look like this:
if prt.Name:find("Leg") then
prt.Transparency = 1
end
elseif prt:FindFirstChild("NameTag") then
prt.Head.Transparency = .5
prt.Head.Reflectance = 0
prt.Head.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Institutional white")
end
end
Every new "block" (between a then and a else/end; between a do and end; between a repeat and until; etc) should be one level to the right.
Also note that :findFirstChild is deprecated in favor the of the more consistently cased :FindFirstChild.
